Music Monday: Voice of Truth

Many voices compete for our attention: co-workers, family, friends, bosses, children. Sometimes, they can all scream at once.

The same happens in the spiritual world (at least for me). I can feel God speak to me so clearly one minute, and then the next minute, I can hear Satan’s minions scream to the contrary.

There is a war that is raging all around us.

Being aware of the battle in the spiritual realm is something new to me, but I assure you, I have found it to be very real and very bloody.

God has asked me to believe some pretty crazy things over the last couple of years. Things that are completely impossible without His hand on the situation, and it has been a wild ride.

Satan likes to remind me that these situations are impossible. Many months ago, during one particularly brutal battle, this song played on my iPod and finally, though I had heard the song many times, I listened to the words. The words just happened to be what God had been whispering to my soul earlier in the day. I love when He does that!

Voice of Truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I’m in
Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
To the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He’s holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I’ve tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. ‘Boy, you’ll never win!’
“You’ll never win”

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
And the voice of truth says “Do not be afraid!”
And the voice of truth says “This is for My glory”
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they’d have had the strength to stand

But the giant’s calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I’ve tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again “boy, you’ll never win!
“You’ll never win”

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don’t seem so high
From on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me
